I saw this ad thingie, like, SNIPES shoes? Never heard of ’em, tbh. But FREE SHIPPING & RETURNS? Okay, they got my attention. And then Zappos… legendary 365-day return policy? Whoa! That’s intense. Like, can you imagine returning shoes after, like, almost a YEAR? I mean, I guess if they totally fall apart, that’s fair. But still. What’s even going on with shoe quality these days, anyway? You’d think for the price of some sneakers, they’d last longer than, like, a season.
Then there’s Zalando. I always think of that as a really fancy-schmancy place, but then this other ad says free delivery over $40? So, maybe not so fancy after all? And then ASOS is thrown in there too. Whoa, talk about whiplash.
Boathouse Canada? I guess that’s a thing if you’re, you know, in Canada. “The destination for new footwear, apparel, releases and more” sounds super extra. Like, chill, Boathouse. It’s just clothes and shoes, not saving the world. Although, maybe finding the *perfect* pair of jeans IS kind of saving the world. From bad outfits, anyway. LOL.
Oh, and then there’s the whole donation thing. “Find Clothing Donation Bins Near Me”? That’s actually a good point. We all have clothes we don’t wear anymore. I swear, I have a whole closet full of “maybe someday” items. Someday when I lose ten pounds, or someday when that style comes back around (again!), or someday… I don’t even know. Maybe I *should* just find a donation bin. ThredUp, too. That’s a good way to clear out space, right? Plus, it’s like, sustainable and stuff.
And Nordstrom? That’s like, the opposite end of the spectrum from donating. Those are usually the expensive stuff. Which, I guess, is nice to have, but… is it *really* worth it? I mean, those pieces ARE perfectly priced and will last you a while. It’s a tough question, honestly.
